"As for the Erma Company you asked, you just need to know that many of the lords of the imperial court and the gentry from all over the country have invested money and own shares, which is the scale of assets of no less than one billion holy dollars! Tens of thousands of people are too much? Let me tell you, this is still the first batch, and when these people go there to settle down and set up the various branches, they will recruit the second and third batches, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of people will be possible! plus the family is even more than a million. ”

Steward Feng's words surprised the Fengyang prefect, and he asked with some confusion: "How many Shengyuan is the share of this Erma Company?" ”

The staff quietly gestured: "Lord Prefect, it's 10,000 Shengyuan shares." The lady pooled together a thousand saintly dollars and invested it, and she had 1 share. ”

The face of the prefect of Fengyang changed, and his entire net worth was only this thousand holy yuan, which had been accumulated over the years, and he didn't expect that his crazy woman had all invested in it. couldn't help but hurriedly shouted: "This, the surname of the country, the craftsmen recruited here have to be well guarded, choose the right candidates, and can't let the second horse company let a group of people who can't do things in." He didn't say the next words: It would not be okay to recruit those people who couldn't do anything to the Second Horse Company, and let the 1,000 Shengyuan that his wife had invested be lost.

Steward Feng laughed: "This is natural." Feng also invested 3,000 holy yuan, which is more than you! ”

When the prefect of Fengyang saw this scene, he suddenly remembered something, as if he understood a truth, and sighed secretly in his heart: I don't know if it is what the government guessed. In any case, how much courage and ability should this person who founded Erma Company have! can actually mobilize the entire empire I don't know how many gentry, and the funds of one billion holy yuan, I am afraid that it can buy most of the empire! Thinking about it this way, it is already obvious that this must be the company founded by the current emperor himself. Two horses and two horses, isn't that exactly what Feng meant? Except for the emperor, who can have such great ability, even if he has, he will not dare to do so, and directly use the power of the entire court to do things for him, if it is anyone else, it is tantamount to a rebellion, I am afraid that His Majesty will have sent troops to quell the rebellion a long time ago.

The prefect of Fengyang and Steward Feng glanced at each other, and they both understood that this matter could not be said, so it was good to understand it in their hearts. At the same time, the prefect of Fengyang set off a monstrous wave in his heart, he was already a prefect, how could he not understand that this Erma company was obviously a good hand played by the emperor, bringing together all the officials and gentry of the entire empire and becoming a huge interest group!

This is just like the Shizi group in the Song and Ming dynasties and the Manchu and Mongolian aristocratic groups in the Manchu Dynasty, the Fengyang prefect clearly feels that the current Chinese Empire will form a capital group composed of officials, local gentry and merchants and other people with certain property within the entire empire, or a shareholder group called Erma Company! And himself, with his wife's investment of 1,000 Shengyuan, has also become a small part of this group! After all, most of his family wealth has been invested. And the strength of this two-horse company also makes people bold, just imagine, in this world, there is still that company that can have such strength?

And just when the Fengyang prefect saw some clues of the Erma Company, other provinces in Anhui Province and other provinces were staging the same scene.

Two months later, with the help of local governments, the recruitment of the two horse companies was unusually smooth, and it didn't take long for the entire empire to recruit more than one million strong men to apply for the two horse companies, and after the repeated selection of the deacons and stewards stationed in various parts of the two horse companies, more than 18,000 men were finally determined as employees of the two horse companies. It is worth noting that almost all of these people are concentrated in places where densely populated people such as Fengyang, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Jinan, Yanzhou, Xi'an, Changsha, and Zhaoqing are more difficult, while places like Suzhou, Songjiang, and Guangzhou, which are more densely populated but have developed basic industries and commerce, as well as Yan'an in Shaanxi, Zhen'an in Guangxi, Duyun in Guizhou, and other places with a lack of population, only recruit a small number of employees.

On the Qinhuai River outside the Holy City, on a magnificent and magnificent painting boat, the eight directors of the Erma Consortium were a little nervous and were led into the flower hall in the middle of the painting boat by a group of black-clothed guards. The man in the yellow robe is none other than the current Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Feng Yunshan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all good at doing business that I have carefully selected, and you have entered a higher school to study, and you have also learned foreign languages, and you can stand out from hundreds of deacons and stewards, which is your ability.

Coming here today, I have a big announcement: give you the surname Feng, and from now on, you will become the surname of the same as me! The children and grandchildren of the family are all glorious!

I hope you will work hard in the future, for me, for the empire, and at the same time, for you and for future generations, to create an immortal inheritance of the times! Feng Yunshan stood up with a swish, and shouted to the eight principals with full anger.

These principals didn't expect the emperor to make such a show, and in a panic, they actually forgot about thanks, and when they were stunned for a while, they reacted one after another, only to feel a huge surprise coming, so they hurriedly kowtowed to thank them: "Weichen and so on, thank you Your Majesty Longen!" ”

can be ordered by the current emperor and given a national surname, and they are all grateful to Dade beyond measure. From now on, what a supreme honor it is to become the lord of the country. Moreover, they all know that this Erma Company was actually founded by His Majesty, even if His Majesty is not the emperor, he is also their employer, and besides, all of them have invested most of their belongings in this Erma Company, and the emperor can let them follow the surname Feng, which is a huge reward. Obviously, this is the emperor is trying to win them over, these principals are all flexible people, how can they not understand, and hurriedly continued to express their attitude: "Your Majesty, Weichen and others must only look forward to Your Majesty's horses, and guarantee that Your Majesty will control and operate the Erma Company firmly and solidly, and become the world's number one business empire!" ”

Feng Yunshan was overjoyed when he saw that the goal was achieved, and hurriedly got up, pulled up the 8 principals one by one, and began to arrange them: "You wait for 8 people, this time lead the deacons and stewards, and lead those newly recruited company employees to go to the places that have been set up in advance to set up various companies, which is to lay the foundation for the entire Erma Empire, I hope you and others will keep in mind the mission, really establish the company as soon as possible, compete with those companies in the West, and snipe them down." ”

"With the support of the largest empire, coupled with abundant funds, the support of tens of thousands of employees and families, and the support of hundreds of thousands of shareholders, I believe that you will definitely lead the Erma Consortium to glory as soon as possible.

What I want is a two-horse consortium that controls the wealth of the world from all walks of life and from all places. ”

Eight principals hurriedly agreed.

It didn't take long for them to lead the deacons and stewards, with more than 18,000 employees of the Second Horse Company, and more than 80,000 family members, together, a huge team of nearly 100,000 people, divided into several batches, in several months, on the merchant ships hired by the Second Horse Company, set off to North America, Australia, the South Seas, Europe and other places, rushing to distant places to expand the territory.
